The figure-eight knot is equivalent to its mirror image

add to album

Some knots aren't equivalent to their specular image, but this is not the case of the figure-eight knot. This is the first step of an operation that transforms the figure-eight knot in its specular. You can see here the successive step.
The image has been realized with the program KnotPlot.
